Why is it rude to cook at somebodys house?

The first trait I give ALL my sims are the «always welcome» one. Then I don’t really need to think about cooking, showering etc in other peoples houses. :)

It’s inappropriate to cook, shower, sleep or whatever at your sims’s friend’s house, but a stranger coming in, using their computer, swimming in their pool, watching their tv, even sleeping there or interacting with their kid is absolutely fine......like what the heck ?

Because you are taking something that someone already paid for and using it for something else.

...kinda like the 20th anniversary.

Lol well it’s not rocket science, you can’t go bum off other sims and their homes? A) yes cooking, showering and sleeping are inappropriate activities to do around somebody else’s home. B) it’s a difficulty measure, you can’t start a new game and go bum of the landgrabs. C) you can earn aspiration traits to over ride this (pretty sure it’s like dirt cheap too)...

It’s clearly not a glitch? Why are people always trying to pacify this game ? Isn’t the sims 4 easy enough already?

Its not somerhing to "fix" since its always been a part of the series, my question is why is it a feature anyways. I guess to stop your from living in someone else's house?

I think you hit the nail on the head there.

I still think that if you have high enough relationship though, that it shouldn't be a problem. When my best friend comes over and cooks IRL, I'm all fist pumping because now I don't have to! :D

I would personally consider it extremely rude IRL if anyone came to my house to cook, shower or sleep - even more so if they'd try to feed my pet or toddler - without asking first. So my question would not be why this is in the game, but rather why you cannot ask for permission to do certain things while you are at another Sim's house. For close friends and family the answer should always be yes. But since the 'Always Welcome' trait, which has been mentioned a bunch of times in this thread, is so cheap it doesn't really bother me while playing the game.

Ok but if your sim and the sim whose house they’re in have a high enough relationship it should be fine for them to cook, shower and sleep there, they’d have their permission.....

Also, a uni student living at uni is no longer classed as living at home, so if they visit their own household and start cooking they need the reward trait or get deemed inappropriate.

Irl when my son comes home during uni breaks I certainly wouldn't think it was inappropriate for him to cook, shower or sleep lol.

as the other simmer posted,
there is a cheap trait you can buy in reward gifts called.

ALWAYS WELCOME
